Kinetoscope 12

at Westside Theater

January 24 - 26

We are celebrating 12 years of Kinetoscope: International Screendance Film Festival as Montana’s premiere dance film festival! Created in 2013, the festival consistently presents the best of screendance from around the world. Kinetoscope started as a screening partner with Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema (Boulder, CO). During the past festivals, we have screened hundreds of international dance films for Montana’s vastly underserved dance audiences. The festival is presented and curated by Montana’s only full-season professional dance company, Bare Bait Dance.

Our primary intent is to screen films that exemplify the most exciting and innovative video and dance collaborations from around the world. We celebrate the diversity in the screendance field and are open to films with a variety of styles, themes, and approaches.

2024 KINETOSCOPE 12 SUBMISSION DEADLINES

Open for Submissions: MAY 10 | Earlybird Deadline: JUNE 7 | Regular Deadline: SEPTEMBER 6 | Late Deadline: OCTOBER 4

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

Kinetoscope is a project of Bare Bait Dance in Missoula, MT.

We are grateful to our past festival partners Roxy Theater and Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema for their guidance and support.
